PROJECT:RADIOVAN

Open Call for Artists / Musicians / Collectives

PROJECT:RADIONVAN iis an ongoing research project devised by Adam Walker of normalife©. It is a recording studio and internet radio station housed in a van. Travelling around the UK, radiovan will be an experimental communication point for artists, communities and musicians. Starting in Newcastle upon Tyne before moving to various locations around the country, we will build up a cultural map of the UK, sampling the cultural produce of the country. The resulting archive of information and recordings will then be broadcast on an online database at www.radiovan.co.uk.

We also plan to hold a series of live events, featuring music, performances and visuals showcasing work produced for radiovan. These will take the form of car park gigs, video screenings, performances, seminars, etc.

normalife© invite proposals for a series of programmes to be recorded in 2007. If you have an idea for a performance or radio show that you would like to submit, be it a short history of Italian disco or a call-in for a local youth club, please send it all proposals, including C.V.'s, any relevant images and a budget for your project to normalife©, 267 Jesmond Road, Cradlewell, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2 1LB or email info@radiovan.co.uk

We welcome proposals from everyone, with a focus on art, music, community, and cultural diversity from all over the UK.

Deadline: September 11th 2006
